The HEFCE domain - www.hefce.ac.uk - will continue to function until September 2018. At this point we will close the site entirely and all its information will only be available from the National Web Archive.

How we use individualised student data

We use individualised student data to inform and monitor funding allocations and to produce data summaries, target lists and metrics. This data is submitted by providers to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) and the Education and Skills Funding Agency (through the Individualised Learner Record (ILR)). This page gives information about how we use this data in these areas.

We previously announced changes to terminology for our uses of individualised student data (see ‘Change to terminology for uses of individualised student data’). These changes include the renaming of this section from ‘Funding and monitoring data’ to ‘How we use individualised student data’ and the rebranding of the ‘web facility’ to the ‘data checking tool’. We are currently updating the pages below with the new terminology, where necessary.
